Licensing & Accreditations

We are accredited by The Joint Commission

Austin Child Guidance Center adheres to nationally recognized standards as evidenced by our accreditation status with The Joint Commission and receiving a Gold Seal of Approval™. The Joint Commission is the nation’s leading accrediting body of health care organizations. We voluntarily chose to be reviewed by the Joint Commission because it stands for quality health care, and so do we. It sets high standards of care and evaluates health care organizations against over 1,500 standards. As the demand for greater accountability for quality and costs grow, it is more important than ever to have the quality distinction – Joint Commission Accreditation. Achieving accreditation makes a strong statement to the Austin community about our organization’s efforts to provide mental health services of the highest quality. Austin Child Guidance Center has held this accreditation since 1986. For more information about The Joint Commission visit their website.
